Shawn Marion: The UNDERAPPRECIATED STAR of the 7 Seconds or Less Phoenix Suns | FPP

- Shawn Marion took the JuCo route before having a stellar year at UNLV where he prove to be a top prospect and one of the most versatile players in the 1999 NBA Draft. He would join a veteran suns team led by the backcourt 2000 duo of Jason Kidd and Penny Hardaway. Injuries to alot of the key suns of that era, lead to them being one of the biggest what ifs, but also gave Shawn Marion a chance to shine and we do exactly that as over the next 7 and a half seasons in Phoenix, he would establish himself as arguably the best two way player in the league and consistently place in the top 25 in the league for most statistical categories. He was at his best in Mike D'Antoni's 7 seconds or less offense with two time MVP Steve Nash and Perennial all star Amare Stoudemire. Marion would be the overlooked member of this trio, even by the Phoenix Suns organization as after not receiving a max contract extension, he would request a trade and bounce around to the Miami Heat then the Toronto Raptors for the next couple of seasons. Until he found a place in Dallas on a Mavericks team led by Dirk Nowitzki and Marion would be a key piece in the Mavs 2011 NBA Championship. He would spend another few years in Dallas before calling it a career after one year in Cleveland. He would retire in rare company due to his versatility as he would find himself high on some exclusive statistical lists with legends like Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone and Kevin Garnett. But nowadays, Marion doesn't get the love he deserves for how great he was, especially at just 6'7". So that's why today's episode is going to take a look at the Matrix, Shawn Marion.

Shawn Marion deserves to make the hall of fame. I hope he gets in next year. He is so underrated.
And hope that eventually he and Amare make the suns ring of honor as well
@@4392amtrak Absolutely.
Fr
😂😂😂. He's terrible. U can't shoot like that and be in the hall of fame. You could teach an ape to shoot better than him
@@4392amtrakthey just announced it today they are. Lol.
The matrix really had a great career on defense and offense
I love the way he scored too, you didn't necessarily have to run any plays for him, but he'd find ways to get buckets and help his team.
*That 2007 season for the Suns was the most deflating for Phoenix fans, not only were the Suns robbed in the Spurs series but Phoenix also lost out in the 2007 Draft Lottery which was held a few weeks later when the Hawks pick they got from the Joe Johnson trade and was top 3 protected ended up being retained by Atlanta when the Hawks finished 3rd in the Lottery, Atlanta later selected Al Horford 3rd overall. Double whammy for the SUNS.*
The history of Kidd, Nash, Marion, and the Suns and Mavs is cool... The Mavs trade Kidd to Suns for Finley. Then the Suns traded Kidd's backup PG Steve Nash to Dallas for a 1st Round draft pick, and the Suns would use that pick to select Shawn Marion. Then the Suns would trade Kidd, and eventually lure Nash back to Phoenix to team him up with Marion. Then Dallas makes a big trade to get Kidd back in Dallas. Then Marion goes to Dallas to team back up with Kidd and win a ring with him and Dirk. It's really neat how it's all intertwined and came full circle. Kidd > Nash btw 😊
I agreed with everything you said until you said Kidd was greater than Nash. As a Suns fan, obviously you know we had them both. No disrespect to Kidd. Loved having him in PHX, and I hated to see him go, but being able to bring Steve back to where he started in PHX was amazing. We're gonna have to agree to disagree.
I got Kidd over nash as well. To get the nets to Back to Back final appearances was impressive. That team was gritty. Kidd was a very smart on D as well, not a lockdown defender but very good ...he would do the Dirty work... His stabilizing presence was what gave the Mavs the confidence to beat the Heat.
Love the video. Definition of "do it all". No other player like him since he's retired.
Can’t forget Clarence “Mini Barkley” Weatherspoon
the 93’ dunk contest runner up himself powerful on the rims

Yes we can
Cuban really messed up not keeping that chip team together, and giving them a chance to run it back. They really played well together after the trade deadline, as their record showed. He kept that money for nothing, when he could have given Dirk a chance at a repeat
Should be in HOF !!🔥🔥🔥
Suggestion: Andrei Kirilenko, who was a contemporary to Marion, and also one of the most versatile and portable players in NBA History.
Btw, it was such a blessing to discover your channel, congrats on the content.
They were both great. But I cant help but think about what they could have become if only they played in today's NBA. Since they were Hyperathletic wings that could play the 3 and the 4 position and were "do it all kind of guys", they would dominate
He's so underrated and underappreciated like AK-47 hope he will be a hall of famer someday great contents Godbless
He deserves much more. My favorite player when I was in high school and middle
Thanks for the upload. Marion is probably my all time favorite player to watch. He was such a unique player, a relentless defender and was the definition of fast twitch.
that suns team was fun Nash, Leandro, Matrix, Stat, Tim Thomas, Boris
And it sucks that he doesn't have any All-Defensive teams on his resume
Really? I thought he would’ve had one
@Qwartsinju-ft1yh I know, right? It's a combination between great talent at the forward positions and him being snubbed by someone who didn't deserve it
Shawn Marion was solid
Great video! You’ve mentioned him a few times in a couple of ur vids but can you do a full breakdown on Cliff Robinsons career??
in his prime after his 1st or 2nd best statistical and just 2 way playing on that level he was rated a 98 unedited in NBA live and he was at least 5 points above everyone else and i didnt know much about him back then but i do now.
The best second leaper in Basketball history. if he played in this era he'd easily get a max contract like Draymond.
One gets tired just watching Marion's highlights, a great player/athlete. Btw, that's not Nate Robinson, that's Kevin Hart.
Man good timing
Hahah no kidding, just saw the news about him and STAT getting their numbers retired
We need Dan “ Thunder Dan” Majerle 💯
Shawn Marion made 791 3-pointers in the NBA, I wonder how many David Thorpe made
Matrix was always my favorite
I wonder where y’all got the idea to do this from
Is it me? Or is Shawn the unspoken player in the history of not just the NBA but sports in general. This is not intended to be an insult or knock to Marion. I just wouldn't recognize Marion's voice from anyone
Wow that’s Dallas won. They had him too in their plantilla! 😄
Brian Grant
Do Mahmoud rauf next
Anthony peeler is next or Doug west.
I know he hasn’t retired yet but do a Kemba Walker vid it looks like his NBA career basically over and I feel like he gon slip under the radar
He was so the only guy who could ever guard Dirk
I'm hoping Cam Whitmore can have a parallel career as Matrix
You know who’s going to end up on this list? He still playing now Jimmy butler will end up on this show
Shawn hurt his head do Stacey Augmon
Nash should not have won any mvps just being honest he did not dominate in that case they should’ve gave it to Shawn facts 🤦🏿♂️
Boy shot was ugly ah
Suns got robbed against the spurs
😂😂not original
shawn marion was an AVERAGE player NOT facing legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson bill russell and wilt chamberlain
You shouldn’t be allowed to speak on anymore basketball
@@g4lsupreme542 in 80 the nba declared the greatest player ever as bill russell and there's a documentary called the greatest player ever starring wilt chamberlain
One of the ugliest jump shots ive ever seen, but he made a lot of them
I've established, your content is perfect. You just need a nasty memorable intro now. Every body gotta know what it is right when they click. Ask your fans to submit intro tracks or something brotha
My Dude The Matrix❕
PHX bugged out trading Him for an old Shaq
PHX was Runnin & Gunnin
Then made the trade and lost that athleticism & Defense
Lost what they needed most
He was a WAY BIGGER LOSS
Than Q Rich
UNLV 🏀 Shawn Marion SF
I find it great how all members of the suns' big 3 also played for Dallas at some point in their career.
And that early 00's Mavs team also had a coach almost similar to D'antoni
Mike Finley
@jamaalkareem7021 him too. I didn't know that he started his career in PHX until I looked him up
I forgot Amare played for Dallas for a season
rigged
Man the matrix was such a unique player. I was a senior in high school when Shawn helped Dirk and my mavs finally get their first championship. We couldn't of done it with out Shawn and his defense on L.B.J.
Don’t forget kidd and Stevenson! That was a surprisingly great defensive perimeter trio! They did great against Kobe and wade too! They struggled against Brandon Roy though, he was a beast
@@freddyes2242Definitely! Kidd and Marion worked so beautifully together on the perimeter. And yeah, Stevenson was a nice 3 and D wing they could have out there whenever Kidd or Marion needed a rest. And of course Chandler manning the middle. Everybody loves the 2011 Mavericks, except Heat or LeBron fans.
gave my Lakers fits for yrs... especially wit nash and stoudamire
Marion was a true stat stuffer
He was special
I like that the NBA 2k game actually had his shot in the game too
i don't think marion is forgotten yet but great video nonetheless. damn i just realized marion doesn't have any all-defense selections
Heavy
Ps Peace to Cliff Robinson and Rodney Rogers
Pps That 2011 Mavs Team was stellar.
Good call... THE MATRIX was a hooper!! Would love to see one on Andrel Bynum/Rex Chapman/ Peja Stro./ Stephon Marbury/Tom Chambers , Danny Granger just name a few...
Rony Seikaly?
You should do a video on Bruce Bowen he’s very underrated and forgotten about he was the defensive stopper in SA
I personally don't think he was forgotten, he was truly legit. But nonetheless a great mention. Always used him as a reference for ppl that rained shots down despite their ugly form.
I would like to see his former teammate Tyson Chandler get profiled
Can you do Caron butler next
You had Ceballos and Marion. Kevin Johnson needs a vid.
one of the greatest defenders ever…we need danny green next !
Seeing Shawn Marion considered a forgotten player makes me sad. You used to be able to shoot around on a basketball court and if you tried to shoot a free throw Shawn Marion style people would automatically know who you were imitating. His unorthodox shooting motion was effective nonetheless
This is quickly becoming a great channel. Do you think you would consider doing a spotlight on Jason Williams? He was the most fun player to watch ever!! Keep up the good work!!
I'm glad that you made this video. I'm not a Suns fan and never was, but as an avid Lakers' fan for over 30 years, it annoys me how underappreciated Shawn Marion & Amar'e Stoudamire are -- especially Marion.
NBA fans need to know more about him. He was absolutely won of the best players in the league during the 2000s & produced at a level that should qualify him for the HOF.
he was the matrix for real. I seen him play live during his prime and he was literally pushing the action with his speed and his quick hops.
Do Stephen marbury and do Damon stoudamir...also Juan Gonzalez baseball
As a Mavs fan i will always love him for what he did for us
Definitely needs to be in the HOF no questions about it.
17:40 i like that pass
Thank you
I wouldn't say that Marburry is no Jason Kid. He didn't know how to run a team or offense as well, but he was a better scorer, and although he was not the passer Kid was, he still had high assists numbers. Starburry was a hell of a player in his own right, he just didn't have it together upstairs like Kid did
Kidd did take the same Nets team that Marbury only won 26 games with and he won 52 games with them the next season on his way to back to back Finals appearances. So I think it's safe to say that Marbury was no Jason Kidd.
Andrei Kirilenko needs an episode
joe johnson next
Not gonna lie. I love this channel...born in 82 . Card collector. Fan .this is perfect. Keep them coming
what made him great was you didnt have to run plays for him for him to get his.
Right ! Being a third option and still getting busy is crazy
He WASN'T underappreciated! He was a star from season 2 for the Suns. He had the fastest leap in the NBA for more than a decade and everybody KNEW that. But yeah, you might wanted to say people FORGOT about him because of the shitty-shinny basketball they have today.
Tom Chambers definitely deserves a video. Most underrated player ever
I'm not a Suns fan, but the younger generation needs to be made aware of what a bad man Tom Chambers was.
Man...this guy was, and still is, so underappreciated
I agree. It often irritates me when people talk about that 2011 Mavs team... A lot of people act like Dirk carried a bunch of washed up players to a championship. Part of the reason nobody picked the Mavs against Miami is because they didn't really respect how good players like Shawn Marion and Jason Kidd still were at the time, nor how unique their skill sets were... And even after they proved it by winning the chip, people still act like they were just average role players or something.
He looks like morpheus
They try to underrate rate the Matrix especially after the 2011 season since they don't want to put the message out there that the Mavs are also a loaded team and make the Mavs as like bottom of the barrel contending underdogs. They have 2 All-NBA defensive players in Chandler and Marion, Prime Nowitzki and Prime Terry, elite role players in Barea and Stevenson and Post Prime JKidd who played like Stockton on his contender yrs with the Jazz at 37 yo
He led the suns in scoring, rebounds blocks and steals in Nash 2nd MVP season. My opinion he should’ve atleast been first team all nba if not MVP
Shawn Marion should've came back to the cavs the next season after he retires they win the championship crazy asf.....
I know you don't have to be a true big to average in double figures in rebounds but Marrion with highest average lending the Mavs with just 7 rebounds is kinda sad one of the bigs could atleast average 9 or 10 rebounds guess it is hard to get certain stats
1st time i saw the Matrix 1995 @CCHS. Dunked hard on my boy, Cj Pepper in transition.
He's not underappreciated in PHX. He's still a legend here to the people. They don't put just anyone in the ring of honor.
You sir have earned my sub. Great job putting this video together. Looking forward to more.
4:40 lmao going the wrong way😂and the way afterwards gets all mad at everyone else
Hold up Marion was put into the top 75 right ????......
Great video per your usual. Would like to see a Vernon maxwell video
We need one on Andre Miller
Was a man of the matrix 🎉ka.pai bless the lord ☘️ 🙏
Peja Stojakovic could be next
One of my fav players of all time the matrix 💪🏿
The Matrix of course he should be HOF
Gerald Wallace was the only guy that came close.
An absolute pleasure to watch!
Day 3 of asking for a ralph sampson video
Unforgettable, he going the wrong way
I really thought he was 6’9 or 6’10
Listed at "just" 6'7 😂😂😂😂
Asuar Thompson reminds me of him
He was my favorite player in that era
Do one on Terrence Williams
How about
Scott skiles
this page is dope keep up the work
